Woman Resting Drawing

While I had a studio on the lower east side of Manhattan in 2003, I hired models on a weekly basis (and invited other artists to come and draw with me) I was inspired so much by the models themselves. Good models give so much during their poses. It is as if they take on a character, inhabit it, and wordlessly communicate a story. I drew this figure with white color pencil as a way to go beyond the more conventional pencil on paper....it is a way to really study negative space and I found it made me work harder to find the form in an accurate way. It caused me to leave behind assumptions about what I thought I knew about the figure and to "find" the form of the body in a fresh and new way. I enjoy drawing nudes, especially on a small scale, as it creates an intimacy with the subject for myself and it draws in the viewer for an intimate experience with the subject and the artwork itself.
